SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Spire Health, a leader in virtual care for chronic respiratory disease patients, has published the results of a study showing that use of their virtual care service is associated with a reduction in emergency visits and hospital admissions. The study enrolled patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide. Acute exacerbations of COPD are associated with significant rates of hospitalization and accelerated disease progression.
Conducted at a multi-provider pulmonary practice, the study included 126 COPD patients who had at least one unplanned hospitalization or emergency room visit in the year prior to enrollment. Only participants enrolled in Spire for at least 12 months were enrolled. The study was approved by the Western Institutional Review Board and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT05518981).
Published in the International Journal of COPD, this is likely the first study to investigate the clinical impact that virtual care enabled through continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring can have on healthcare resource utilization in COPD. Use of the Spire system was associated with a significant decrease in all-cause hospitalizations per patient per year (1.09 ± 0.07 to 0.38 ± 0.06, PPPMichael Polsky, a pulmonologist at Pulmonary Associates of Richmond. "Reducing acute healthcare utilization not only benefits patients but also leads to significant cost savings for healthcare providers and payers."
"Results such as these are the reason I recently joined Spire as its new CEO," said Michael J. Doyle, CEO of Spire Health. "Our clients want to live in the comfort of their homes and avoid frequent trips to the emergency room or hospital. For COPD patients, SpireSpire can help make this possible. Because at Spire, every breath counts."
